Primitive living
Forgive him
Forgiven
Mother he never meant to flirt
With prison
This isn’t
This isn’t
The story of one rehabilitated
After understanding
The science of prisms
To be divided against himself
Is hell
This isn’t
This isn’t
Heaven either
Purgatory
Maybe
But look wider
The scope of the universe
This isn’t
This isn’t
Limited solely
To the ground he walks on
He looks to the sky
He sees dreams
This isn’t
This isn’t
The nightmare
He paints
It seems
That at some point his visions
Were lost in the seams
But this isn’t
What this is
Is what this isn’t
A desire to be confusing
By using
Words played against each other
Rather
A question
Searching for an answer
Devoid of isms… Continue reading

Love
Tell me
What do you know about it
I doubt it
Sounds made up
Calm down
Don’t need to be so loud
Your words are crowded
I can’t tell them apart
Was that your heart
That shouted
Infatuation
Tell me
What do you know about it
I doubt it
I feel alive
When I’m not without it
No need

The same voice
Depth
Poise
The world doesn’t have to be jealous
Or patronize while saying
“DOZE GOIZZZE…
…Are so good together”
To you
It should be all noise
It’s what they never explained
When you were girls
Boys have to become men
To provide you with those joys
Sounds familiar
But obligation
History
Good enough
Don’t have the same eyes
To see health in the pain
They’re just a good pairing

On anniversaries
Birthdays

I never planned on being
The good guy
Or the bad guy
Sorry
Was never fond of Jerry
Or Maury
They used to call me Tom
But I wasn’t that cat
Who needed all that
Glory
That’s another
Story
My book keeps telling me to write
Hurry
I have so much to say
My pen
Filled with
Worry
They haven’t touched in a while
Pen and paper
Perfect pair
Like that one guy
And Mike Lowrey
Bad Boys
That’s another
Story
Sorry
My mother wanted to see me on Oprah
I’m so late
So late to show
Now I’m in a rush
Hurried
I’m getting nervous now
Worried
My past is so full
Distinguished
Storied
And it’s already been told
So I write
Annotations… Continue reading
